I’d like to thank Coles in St. Catherine’s for giving me the opportunity to do a book signing at their store.  I met a lot of wonderful people, and it was fun!

You’re getting ready for your typical school day. You pick the right clothes, shoes, you grab your bag as you head out the door. The last thing you want to deal with are any surprises during the day – no pop-up tests, no extra socializing and definitely no spur of the moment partnering projects that will lead to – oh no – an oral presentation!  But remember, you can’t control everything in school or in life.  There are going to be lots of twists and turns and unexpected occurrences. As introverts, we often aren’t as quick to accommodate to these changes as our extroverted counterparts.What if nobody picks me to be their group or to be their partner?  Ultimately, the teacher will make the decision.  And remember, it’s not the first time it’s happened.  Try not to over-think it.You will always learn to deal with your introversion to the best of your ability.  Yes, teachers, friends and employers will understand that you’re not as ‘social’ as others, but you have special strengths as well.   Rest assured; people will notice them.

How have you dealt with unexpected  situations?

Bella is an introverted teenage girl who is about to enter her first year of high school. As nervous as she is, she feels confident, since she has the support of her extroverted friend, Mercedes, who has helped and guided her through grade school.

But Bella’s confidence is quickly shattered. Without any warning, Mercedes is moved to another class, and Bella is left on her own to deal with with all her insecurities and challenges. The biggest is being in the same class as a bully she has known since grade school, Brianna Mason, without her best friend and protector, Mercedes, by her side.

Bella manages to navigate her experiences of being put on the spot by standing her ground in many unique, tense, yet humorous situations while befriending Izzy, the outcast girl she barely talked to in middle school. Bella must learn tolerance and patience with her new friend while often being hilariously whipped out of her comfort zone.
